Hey Guys, I thought it was time for a real big Biplane without rigging and a zippable Canvas Fuselage Cover 🙂 The kit by Sova will surely become kind a challenge. Lots of sanding and rescribing.

Daniel Klink Autor
Just a normal stitched fuselage cover. I confused the console for the elevator steering pipe with a Zipper handle.

Łukasz Gliński
Interesting 👍 I tried to avoid the rigging similar way, by building lately a Fokker D.VII 😄

Robert Podkoński
Taking a seat!

Daniel Klink Autor
Welcome mates! Hope you both are doing well👍

Guy Rump
Following with interest! 👍

Welcome Guy me old Friend 👍
Started with the Fuselage halves.
Man look at those trenches between the parts 🙁

Daniel Klink Autor
The last pic is the actual state. After a whole day of sanding and filling

Daniel Klink Autor
Tamiya extra thin and in it dissolved kit sprues is really doin its job.
Complete opened window is recommended when doing this stuff. 🙂

Daniel Klink Autor
Rescribing and small filling of the gaps finished.

Daniel Klink Autor
That thing fits better in some areas than some of the newer Airfix Kits 🙂 Straightforwar after the sanding and filling orgy behind one.

Daniel Klink Autor
Colors in the game now.

Bozo
Waow, great job on this kit. An unknow japan plane for sure and a a kit little seen until now.
The painting of the whole thing looks very good, so does the pilot.
SOVA-M, I don't know this brand.
Have you had any issues with assembly?

Robert Podkoński
Looks great already! Keep it up, Daniel!

Alec K
Great job on what sounded like a challenging kit 👍. You mentioned using dissolved sprue goo: wondering if you had any issues with bubbles forming within after it hardens?

Łukasz Gliński
That guy looking at me on pic #18 feels odd, LOL 😄

Mark K
Well done!

Mark Sherwood
That's a beauty. 🤟🥸🤘

Ben M
Nice build!

Robert Podkoński
Fantastic work! (And I have the same impression as Łukasz about pic #18 😄 )

Guy Rump
Welcome back maestro, excellent job as always. 👍

Hey Daniel, you have to take another look at the position lights: the red light belongs on the left side. 😉

Hey Mates, first of all thank you all for your nice and encouraging words. Anothe grey Bird is ready.
@Bozo Thanks mate. I would only recommend this kit when there is some Experience with "old fashioned" short runs. Not the cool stuff that Special Hobby or other Companies from Czech Republic are capable of in the last years. You have to really do a lot of cleaning, sanding and filling. And especially the small parts need much fine tuning.
When available i rplaced them with etched parts from the "Grab box".
@ALec Yeah a bit of a challenge but there is much worse stuff around🙂 I use only Tamyia extra thin or when i want the whole thing to dry slower for bigger areas
I use Gunzes Mr.Cement Black SPB, cause the black color makes bubble wholes etc better visible with light grey sprues.
@Lukasz yap he looks straight into the camera🙂
@Guy make me blush sir! Thanks a lot!
@Bat21 yap youre right. Will correct this when the vacu widnshields arrived.
